Zero Trust Audit-Ready Additional focus Built for Hybrid Government Systems [Request Brief](mailto:info@lattix.io?subject=Government%20Technical%20Brief) [Talk to Engineering](mailto:info@lattix.io?subject=Government%20Engineering%20Call) Policy wraps the data · every access is verifiable · every decision is logged ## /01 GOVERNMENT DATA RISK ## Agency Data Is Moving Beyond Agency Boundaries Government agencies operate across legacy systems, cloud platforms, contractors, interagency workflows, and mission partners. Data now moves faster than traditional controls can govern. Perimeter security and static access models leave gaps once data leaves its original system. Agencies need controls that remain attached to the data itself, enforcing policy, preserving auditability, and supporting zero trust modernization without requiring full infrastructure replacement. 01 Legacy systems with inconsistent access controls 02 Interagency data sharing without persistent policy 03 Sensitive citizen, operational, and mission data exposure View 3 more risk signals 01 Risk signal 04 Audit gaps across cloud and contractor environments 02 Risk signal 05 Slow modernization due to compliance burden 03 Risk signal 06 Limited enforcement in disconnected or degraded environments ## /02 LATTIX APPROACH ## Modernize Data Security Without Rebuilding Everything Lattix applies zero trust directly to data objects. Policies, attributes, encryption controls, and lineage metadata travel with the data as it moves between systems, agencies, and external partners. This gives government teams a path to enforce access, verify usage, and generate audit evidence across modern and legacy environments. 01 ### Portable Policy Access rules stay bound to the data, even when it moves across systems. 02 ### Local Enforcement Policy decisions can be evaluated close to the application, user, or mission edge. 03 ### Cryptographic Proof Access, decrypt, and policy events generate verifiable evidence. 04 ### Interagency Control Share data across agencies and partners without losing governance. ## /03 USE CASES ## Built for Public-Sector Data Operations 01 ### Interagency Data Sharing Enable controlled data exchange across departments, programs, and mission partners with portable policy and auditability. 02 ### Legacy System Modernization Add modern zero trust controls around existing systems without replacing core infrastructure. 03 ### Contractor and Partner Access Grant time-bound, policy-bound access to sensitive datasets while preserving revocation and traceability. View 2 more use cases 01 Audit and Compliance Reporting Generate cryptographic evidence for policy decisions, access events, and data movement. 02 AI and Analytics Governance Control what AI systems, analysts, and automation tools can access, process, and output from sensitive datasets. ## /04 RELEVANT PRODUCTS ## Government-Ready Components of the Lattix Security Fabric [Lattix Security Fabric Composable zero trust infrastructure for policy, enforcement, lineage, encryption, and data control.

Agencies need persistent data governance, verifiable access records, and security controls that work across hybrid environments. Lattix supports data-centric zero trust by keeping policy, access control, and lineage bound to sensitive data itself.

Lattix Model Attach policy and proof directly to the data as it moves. Traditional Model Access decisions depend on centralized infrastructure. Lattix Model Local enforcement can operate across hybrid, edge, and disconnected environments. Traditional Model Compliance evidence is fragmented across tools and systems. Lattix Model Cryptographic lineage creates a verifiable record of access and policy activity. ## Modernize Government Data Security Lattix enforces access at the data object, so an authorization boundary, a coalition share, and a CNSA 2.0 migration all draw on the same controls and produce the same evidence. ### Request Government Technical Brief Review the architecture for data-centric zero trust in public-sector environments.
